Gitlab: While cloning a repo via ssh it keeps asking for password

I have installed gitlab on LINUX(RHEL 6.7). While cloning the repo via ssh it keeps asking for the password for git, however it is working fine by using http:

$ git clone http://[email protected]/MGJV67/NewPROJ.git
Cloning into 'NewPROJ'...
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.

mgjv67@mgjv67-430 MINGW64 /c/TCS/Gitlab/NewPROJ (master)
$ git clone [email protected]:MGJV67/NewPROJ.git
Cloning into 'NewPROJ'...
[email protected]'s password:
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

While you can clone anonymously over http, you can only clone over SSH with a valid SSH identity. Create an SSH key and add the public key to your Gitlab user account, or add it as a deploy key for your project in case you only need read-only access.
